IM WELL members work with their doctor to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness.

Functional Medicine

IM Well specializes in functional medicine, a holistic and personalized approach to healthcare that aims to identify and treat the underlying root causes of illness, rather than just managing symptoms. By taking into account each patient’s unique genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors, Functional Medicine practitioners can create tailored treatment plans that address the specific needs of each individual. This approach involves a thorough assessment of the patient’s medical history, physical examination, and a range of diagnostic tests, including advanced laboratory testing, to uncover any imbalances or dysfunctions that may be contributing to their health issues.

In addition to providing effective treatment for a wide range of conditions, such as digestive disorders (including IBS), fatigue, autoimmune disease, thyroid disease including Hashimotos, and most chronic issues, Functional Medicine can also help patients optimize their overall health and well-being. By identifying and addressing imbalances in key areas such as nutrition, sleep, stress, and physical activity, Functional Medicine practitioners can help patients achieve optimal health and prevent future health issues. Overall, Functional Medicine empowers patients to take an active role in their healthcare and provides a comprehensive and personalized approach to health and wellness.
